The basketry training cours is a delight for the mind which yearns to rest : the concentration, the workshop brightness, the exclusive manual work, the craftsman pace will allow you to disconnect immediately.

     The workshop that we propose is entirely devoted to the doum palm leaves braiding. The leaves are cut into thin strips and twisted to creat a kind of rope called "chrit.  Braided on wrought iron structures, in nowadays this material is very fashionable because it offers many possible uses.

Mohamed will offer you his help and his knowledge to weave chrit and you wil also discover in the same time his universe, his techniques,through the pace of workshop.


The practical works get organized around the production of two small plates, rectangular and round, made of palm leaves basic.
